K I Posted October 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 16, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am just curious to know how well the Auto ISO works on the M9. I am looking to purchase the M9 soon, already have an M8.2. Thanks to all... KI KI Photography Blog Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shootist Posted October 18, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2009 It works quite simply. You set the lowest shutter speed you want to use, and that is available in the selection menu, and the highest ISO you want the camera to use and when the shutter speed would drop below your set low speed the ISO gets raised. If you go beyond the limits of the low shutter speed and the high ISO then the camera drops the shutter speed even farther while keeping the ISO at it highest point. IMHO it is a feature that sounds interesting at first and is good to use when the situation calls for it every now and then but something that I rarely use after the first week or two after it was included in the M8/.2.

Ario Arioldi Posted October 18, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 18, 2009 There is also one more way to use it. In auto ISO mode you choose the speed and the camera will select the corresponding ISO value. Cheers, Ario Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response friends! I am not sure i understand what you describe here... I have an M8.2 and can't find anywhere in the menu where you make the selections. Can you please clarify, since you mentioned this as a feature introduced on the 8.2 Kind Regards KI Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauribix Posted November 4, 2009 Share #5 Posted November 4, 2009 What firmware version you have with your M8? Anyway to set the AUTO-ISO, you have to enter the menu, go down to the "auto ISO setting" and set the two values (as Shootist wrote). Then, while in normal operating mode (i.e. ready to shoot) press the "SET" button beside your rear LCD, go to the "ISO" line, and select "AUTO ISO", it should be working with your M8 as well. With the M9 it's pretty much the same, exception done for the fact that you have a rear dedicated ISO button beside the LCD screen to set the ISO values.

K I Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted November 4, 2009 Mauribix, Got it and thanks so much to all... I guess this is one of those things i overlooked or just simply forgot it was there... I normally use the set button on the back to set ISO, i needed a way to max out ISO in auto not to exceed a specified amount chosen. Thanks again!

jaapv Posted November 4, 2009 Share #7 Posted November 4, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) But be aware that you are better off using no auto-ISO when shooting manual. It confuses everything. On the M9 changing ISO is so convenient that auto-ISO seems superfluous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
